Well I just read the book. Well written, with the sad ending you know is coming. At the hands of a poacher, one Park Myers, who now lives in PA. It's a reminder to me that people that live in those beautiful, paradisiacal places, 60-70% of them are there for the rare beauty and have a respect for it and it's creatures and the laws of the land that protect the creatures, such as hunting laws. Some percentage of the rest are of the shoot-it-if-it moves faction, completely selfish and don't care about anything or anybody but themselves, and they do as they please. Sometimes they get caught, and ultimately, are slapped on the wrist. They are the kind Cold Logging referred to in the Bear thread-" But most of us that live out in the brush/wide open spaces only want to see what benefits us. . Since we live here we get to s.s.+su."
